Gorth Posted May 26, 2008 Posted May 26, 2008 I guess there is a certain irony in the way Guard Dog started this threads predecessor: Our last thread on this subject is past it's expiration date and was a little derailed anyway. I was partly to blame for that I must admit. So, here is where we stand: Democrats: Hillary Clinton: 1016 Delegates Barack Obama: 1158 Delegates First one to 2025 secures the nomination There are some 800 Superdelegates that will make their choices at or before the convention. As it stands Clinton has 234, Obama has 161. The Supers are under no obligation to follow the results of the election Republicans John McCain: 918 Delegates Mike Huckabee: 214 Delegates First one to 1191 secures the nomination. The Republican Party does not use superdelegates and the nominee must be elected by voters.

Meshugger Posted May 27, 2008 Posted May 27, 2008 I can't wait until i see what kind of "swift-boating" will be pulled against the democratic candidate this time. Maybe they will retaliate? That would be fun. I expect the candidates to spend 90% of their time debating on issues that doesn't directly affect the average american. Slogans and buzzwords will be held, guilt-by-association and nonsensical lambasting will be thrown left and right, and nothing really will change since all the main candidates are from the establishment. Simply Status Quo folks. America rolls on, business as usual. Oil will remain expensive, Obsidian will release more games, Bokishi will buy the best computer equipment and Guard Dog will have some puppies to take care of.

I have been saying that but I don't think anyone believes. If Obama wins and takes office in Jan 2009 by Jan 2010 you will barely notice any real changes in the US.

Yuusha Posted May 30, 2008 Posted May 30, 2008 @Gorth: I'll try to stay on course this time. ---------------- What I want to know is why does McCain repeat almost word for word about Iran the pattern of lies and threats they used to justify the war against Iraq. Isn't it true that US intelligence agencies have said that Iran have given up the pursuit of a nuclear weapon? But Bush makes speeches as if he
Humodour Posted May 30, 2008 Posted May 30, 2008 Somehow, Yuusha, I think you overestimate the power of the position of 'president'.
Gorgon Posted May 30, 2008 Posted May 30, 2008 The prez can set the agenda with regards to official foreign policy, and usually gets one or two bills passed during the 'honeymoon' period just after taking office. As regards legislation and interior politics he can be rendered completely impotent by congress, as happened with Clinton. Na na na na na na ... greg358 from Darksouls 3 PVP is a CHEATER. That is all.
Meshugger Posted May 30, 2008 Posted May 30, 2008 For a second, thought that i watched a real advertisment. Still funny though, make sure to watch all of it, it pokes fun of the these kinds of ads being beyond silly.

Guard Dog Posted June 4, 2008 Posted June 4, 2008 In case you guys missed it, it is now official. Obama has hit the magic number of 2118 delegates and is the nominee of the Democrat party for President. Hillary Clinton is still refusing to conceede but that would be like the Patriots refusing to admit the Giants won the Super Bowl after the game ended. Anywho I'm working on my official handicap of the general election for Liberty Post. I'll post it here tomorrow and see what you guys think. http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/06/03/ele...rats/index.html "While it is true you learn with age, the down side is what you often learn is what a damn fool you were before" Thomas Sowell

Hildegard Posted June 4, 2008 Posted June 4, 2008 If Obama is elected president he will be assassinated by the same 'people' who killed the Kennedy's.
Meshugger Posted June 4, 2008 Posted June 4, 2008 If Obama is elected president he will be assassinated by the same 'people' who killed the Kennedy's. Who?! The Texas oilmen? The Mafia? The CIA? The FBI? The Dallas homicide squad? The Rockefellers & Rothschilds? The 13 overlord families? The zionists? The military industrial complex? The freemasons? The Illuminati? The Brandenburg group? The guys and gals at the Bohemian Grove? Who?! Anyhoo, it's good that that chapter is finally over. If Obama becomes the next president, he will have a lot of weight on his shoulders.

I still weep over Gravel never had a spot as the democratic candidate The man supports the free market on every front (except healthcare and education) and has a "live and let live"-attitude in social issues. I really like his "national initiative", but that's on a idealistic level.

Dark_Raven Posted June 5, 2008 Posted June 5, 2008 Time to vote Republican. If Obama is elected president he will be assassinated by the same 'people' who killed the Kennedy's. Nah. He'll be taken out by white supremists. But maybe the CIA will contact the Mafia to take him out like they did with King. Hades was the life of the party. RIP You'll be missed.
Arkan Posted June 5, 2008 Posted June 5, 2008 As Gravel said: "A politician who rides on the promise of hope by the youth and ultimetely fails, will commit the worst sin a politician can do. He or she will create a generation of cynics" Wise words. We're living in an era of cynicism right now, it oft seems. "Of course the people don't want war. But after all, it's the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it's always a simple matter to drag the people along whether it's a democracy, a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism, and exposing the country to greater danger." - Herman Goering at the Nuremberg trials "I have also been slowly coming to the realisation that knowledge and happiness are not necessarily coincident, and quite often mutually exclusive" - meta
